My assessment is as follows
Costs associated with Tenements that are expected to be exploited are carried forward as an asset in the Balance Sheet until such time as the tenements are producing revenue (at which point I suspect the costs would then be progressively written off against that revenue by some appropriate methodology and in an appropriate timeframe)
AVZ have made an assessment on the costs it is carrying forward for tenements PR4029 and PR4030 and believes it can no longer carry those costs forward and have expensed a portion in the current financial year of $643,339 (costs written off/expensed through the the Profit and Loss)
Effectively they have assessed they are not going to be able to recoup that portion of costs in future years through revenue producing activities and therefore must be written off in the current financial year
That's the technical side of it
The question that is not answered (and what you probably want to know) is "WHY" on assessment this year has this portion of the costs associated with the tenements of $643,339 been written off?
There may be a number of reasons (part of the tenements have been re-assessed and are unlikely to be productive in the future, the company is abandoning plans to develop part of the area etc etc etc )
Going by other comments it may appear plausible that the size of the tenements 4029 and 4030 have potentially been changed
If in fact the case is that the tenements are now smaller in size then AVZ would have to proportionately write off some of the carried forward costs in the year that it happens (eg if the tenements were reduced in size by say 25% then one might logically expect 25% of the carried forward costs would need to be written off)
That example is probably a bit simplistic but you get the idea
So in summary going by what others have provided and what I've gleaned from the report I too suspect there has been a change in the boundaries for 4029 and 4030 and this has triggered the associated write off of a portion of the carried forward costs related to those tenements in the current financial year
Would definitely like to know the explicit reason(s) for the write-down of the asset and the methodology used to calculated the final $ value of the amount expensed through the P&L
Hope that helps a bit
